Thanks.  That did the trick.  On a related note.  Anyone know of a good pear
primer (in book form) that I can buy for reading on the train/etc?

You need to set your prefered package state. You can see your current 
settings by typing:
$ pear config-show

And then you can set up pear to allow you to install beta packages by 
typing:
$ pear config-set preferred_state beta
